Indian Test Squad/Team for Sri Lanka Series Announced The Indian Cricket Selectors have picked up the 15-member team for the first two test matches against Sri Lanka here in Mumbai, that begins on November 16. Sreesanth, who last played for India 19 months ago, has been recalled in to the squad, while Zaheer Khan recovered from injury also returns to the squad. Zaheer has recovered from the shoulder injury which he got up during the IPL this year. The selectors meanwhile kept Ishant Sharma in the squad while Ashish Nehra and Munaf Patel was ignored. This was because India opted to go in with 3 spinners in Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra and finally Pragyan Ojha. The first Test is in Ahmedabad, starting November 16, and the second test in Kanpur from November 24. There is no reserve wicket-keeper this time in the squad for the first two tests. Sreesanth was however given the final warning for misbehaviour and violating the code of conduct.
